keeping in mind that the trailer weighs over 3000 lbs empty, is is
really feasible to pull one behind a 'ordinary' pickup truck? but i do
have a thought for those wanting to pull other trailers behind a deuce.
the service brake air line has air pressure proportional to the brakes
being applied, and vented when they are off. you can obtain the air/hyd
unit from an isuzu or ud truck (both have two) and use it to convert air
pressure to hyd brake pressure.
